Not sure what to say?

I worked with Bob at Tektronix. There was not a finer, sweeter, smarter man than Bob. My deepest sympathy to his family. Warmly, Laura Churchill Miller

My Sincere Condolences:

It has been my privelege to have known Bob and others like him who have created new paradigms for the audio industry as a whole.

Bob was a true inspiration.

My most sincere condolences.

Dear Vi and Bob's Kin:

Our most sincere condolences from the Greg Groeper family in Chicago.

Bob was an incredible influence and "dutch uncle" to so many of us. His knowledge of technology, music, business, and people was unparalleled. It was an honor to serve under him. He didn't just build a company, he helped change the way the test and measurement world thought about the importance of high quality audio and testing automation.

Bob was a very good man. I was lucky to know him and very sad that he has gone.

To know how much family support existed is refreshing and humbling.

CUL, 73,

Knowing Bob and others like him at Tektronix made me a better person. We need more like him, especially in this day and time.
